BARBARA ASHBEE Memoriam
BARBARA JEAN ASHBEE (Maxwell) August 27, 1950 - August 30, 2023
It has been one year since we lost Barbara, loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, and grandmother. It's hard to believe it's been a whole year without her, anyone who knew her was aware of her presence, she took command of a room with having to do anything other than show up. Barbara was an extremely caring person, from family, friends, colleagues, neighbors to complete strangers at work, she cared for them all.
The loss of Barbara has been difficult, however anyone who knew Barbara would know that she would not want us to crumble or stop doing what we love because we miss her so very much. On the contrary she would want everyone to become stronger and closer to get through the good and sad times.
Barbara was one of the most caring people out there and has left a hole in everyone's heart. However, every special occasion, holiday or milestone we remember how excited and happy she would want us to be, it's only sad that she's not physically here to share in these life events. But she is there in our hearts.
Barbara, you are missed every day, but we choose to remember the happy times with you which outweighs the sadness we all feel, you had a light nobody will ever reach again. We all love you very much and hope that you are at peace knowing we will take care of each other as you would have wanted us to do.
~All our love, Dale, Bill (Trish & Madeliene),
Meaghan (Mark & Jackson), Carey (Nathan, Avilene & Elijah)
You were the best wife, mother, and most of all grandmother.
